Summertime Clothes Lyrics

Send "Summertime Clothes" Ringtone to your Cell

Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Foreman is leaking; my AC squeaks
And a voice from the clock says "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
It chills my neck and it makes me smile
But my bones gotta move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved

You slide down the stairs to the eager street
And the sun is left with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you (x2)
(And be here with you)

It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Home for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I'll point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walkin' around in our summertime clothes
Know where to go where our bodies go

And we'll breath the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawns, you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you (x2)

When the sun goes down we'll go out again! (x16)

Don't cool off
I like your warmth

Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
But restless is causeless and I cannot hide
So much of my mind that it spills outside
Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked
But the buildings sleep

And there's no one pushing for a place
As we enter at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you (x2)
I want to walk around with you (x4)

Just you, just you, just you, just you (x4)

oh wow i spelled summer incorrectly...

(Just for us!)
(Yo guys!)
(Woo-hee!)

Zone (x4)

Shoots to my nine and obstructs to my sheets
Foreman is leakin'
My AC squeaks
And a voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and my wall's on fire
I'm soakin' my head in the sink for a while
Chokes in my neck and I begin to smile but
My bones got to move and my skin's gotta breate
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved

You slide down your stairs in just like a stream
And the sun has laughed as you slip your feet
And I want to walk around with you (x2)
With you (x2)
Oh it's...

(In distinct talking)

It doesn't make matter or gloom where you feel
Home for the breeze get a midnight meal
I open the windows you point at the part
You rip off your sleeves and I ditch my socks
We dance to the songs from the calls of their backs
We use that cardboard smell that trash
We're dancin' around in our summertime clothes
Nowhere to go but where our bodies go

And we breathe in the dawn it's morning blue
With purple on you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you (x2)

And when the sun goes over the wagon (16x)

Dark cool light
Let me go on

They sieze the sound of the heat from the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissin' the wind 'till my windows scream
The rest is just coarse that I cannot hide
So much in my mind that it spills outside

Do you wanna stroll down a financial street
Our clothes will get soaked but the buildings sleep
And there's no one pushin' for a place
The inner path is an easy pace

And I want to walk around with you (x2)
I want to walk around with you
(x2)

Just you (16x)

just my hearing

Either your hearing is bad (no offence) or you're not just listening properly. The corrections I have made were while listening to the lines with earphones in and I can hear the lines perfectly.

"Shoots to my nine and obstructs to my sheets." ---> "Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets"

"My bed is a pool and my wall's on fire" ---> "My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire." (Yes, I just changed 'my' to 'the' but I felt I should add it in just for the sake of completeness).

"I'm soakin' my head in the sink for a while" ---> "Soak my head in the sink for a while."

"Chokes in my neck and I begin to smile" ---> "It chills my neck and it makes me smile"

"But my bones got to move and my skin's gotta breathe" ---> "But my bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe"

"You slide down your stairs in just like a stream" ---> "You slide down the stairs to the eager street"

"And the sun has laughed as you slip your feet" ---> "And the sun has left us with slippery feet"

"It doesn't make matter or gloom where you feel" ---> "It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel"

"I open the windows you point at the part" ---> "I'll point in the windows, you point out the parks"

"You rip off your sleeves and I ditch my socks" ---> "Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks"

"We dance to the songs from the calls of their backs" ---> "Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass"

"We use that cardboard smell that trash" ---> "Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash"

"We're dancin' around in our summertime clothes" ---> "Walkin' around in our summertime clothes"

"Nowhere to go but where our bodies go" ---> "Know where to go where our bodies go" (There is definitely no 'but' said, so 'nowhere' would make no sense)

"And we breathe in the dawn it's morning blue" ---> "And we'll breathe the dawn in its morning blues"

"With purple on you'll be sleeping soon" ---> "With purple yawns, you'll be sleeping soon"

"And when the sun goes over the wagon" ---> "When the sun goes down we'll go out again" (There is going to be argument over this line, but I can make out each word clearly so...)

"Dark cool light" ---> "Don't cool off"

"Let me go on" ---> "I like your warmth"

"They sieze the sound of the heat from the sound of the rain" ---> "Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain"

"Kissin' the wind 'till my windows scream" ---> "Kissing the wind through my window screen"

"The rest is just coarse that I cannot hide" ---> "But restless is causeless and I cannot hide"

"So much in my mind that it spills outside" ---> "So much of my mind that it spills outside"

"Do you wanna stroll down a financial street" ---> "Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street?"

"Our clothes will get soaked" ---> "Our clothes might get soaked"

"The inner path is an easy pace" ---> "As we enter at an easy pace"

Sorry, when I wrote "It chills my neck and it makes me smile" I meant "It chills on my neck and it makes me smile"
